Knowland said today GOP legis lative leaders "might" meet here in late September to decide whether the state of federal fi nances warrants a special session of Congress. The California senator made the statement after a White umm hraakfact with President Eisenhower. It was Knowland s first visit with Mr. Eisennower since his formal selection as Sen ate Republican leader to succeed the late Sen. Robert A. Taft. Knowland said it would be about Sept. 25 before Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey knows whether federal revenue will be sufficient to meet govern ment bills without raising the federal debt limit. Mr. Eisenhower's request to raic th limit from $275,000,- 000,000 to $290,000,000,000 was rejected by tne senate x inance committee. Vnnuianri said he wanted to canvass the national situation with the President before Mr. Eisenhower leaves for Colorado. Knowland said the President would depart from Washington Patterson Tells Governors About Northwest Power Seattle U.R) Gov. Paul Pat terson says power In the North west is a real issue which is "more basic than just private vs. public" development - Speaking at the Governors' conference panel discussion on natural resources, Patterson warned that while there is argu ment over public vs. private de velopment, a valuable resource is running unused into the ocean. . He described to the panel the operation of the Northwest power pool and said he believes "it has the key to solution on a long range basis of the problem. The problem here is where to draw the line and sea policy so that we may continue this ex periment.' Place for Both - Patterson said there is a place for both public and private de velopment. Also there is a place for development by small local government units but, too, he said, there are times when the federal government must sit in the picture and take the lead in development of multiple pur pose dams which are necessary for flood control, reclamation and irrigation. He said he hoped a policy will be worked out which will per jnit "federal assistance on big dams but stop development of our own governmental units or private interests in the locality." "before too long." Knowland said he, himself, expects to be back in California early next week. He said it was possible that the congressional leaders might meet in September with Mr. Eisenhower in Denver "if he is out there, or here if he happens to be back." To Consult Leaders Knowland said the President reiterated assurances that the leaders would be consulted be fore any special session call. He said the President still took the attitude that he hoped the special session would not be necessary. In response to questions, he said he did not know what Mr, Eisenhower intended to do about the bill to lift the federal excise tax on movie admissions.- One source has said Mr. Eisenhower intends to veto it. Earlier, Knowland said his fel low Republicans know they must stick together to stay in power He discounted fears that the death of Sen. Robert A. Taft may split congressional Repub licans into quarerling factions. r 1 2 vl is? GUNMAN'S VICTIM-John K.

Germany Biggest Story in Europe, U.P. Chief Says New York (U.R) The b i g story in Europe is Germany, Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, said on his return from a 10 week visit to five EuroDean countries. "When you go to Western Ger many, you are impressed by the fact that they are on the go, working hard, eager," Baillie said. Effort Poured On Every defeated nation, of course, works hard to get out of the hole. But Germans are pour ing on the effort to come back." Baillie arrived on the liner Queen Elizabeth with his wife and Robert L. Frey, his execu tive assistant. While abroad he covered aspects of the corona tion og Queen Elizabeth II, and, later, had private conversations with Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, supreme commander for Allied powers in Europe, Clare Boothe Luce, ambassador to Italy, and press lords in London. People Not Worried In Europe generally, Baillie said, people do not give the im pression of being worried. 'The general overall impres sion you get in Europe is that everybody is having a pretty good time," Baillie said. "Their main worry is that the United States and Russia might go to war and they would be in the middle."'

H. Walker here, have charged local 5-265 of the CIO Woodworkers at Sweet Home with an unfair labor prac tice for picketing their saw mills and logging operations at Sweet Home, Lebanon and Fost er. The complicated action was filed by the Willamette National Lumber company and the San tiam Lumber company, owners of the Suttle Lake Logging com pany near Bend. The latter firm normally employs 60 men. The firms claim they are vic tims of a jurisdictional dispute between the Sweet Home CIO IWA local, and the union's Bend local, No. '6-7. The Sweet Home local, which said it started picketing CIO organized properties of the two owners after they employed men from the Bend local for their Suttle lake camp, insisted it acted to protect seniority rights of its members. The union claimed it had contracts with the two owners for the operation. Tried to Clear Matter The owners testified they wanted to hire crews near the operation and did everything possible to clear all matters with the union. They seek an in junction against the picketing. The Suttle Lake operation, subject of the controversy, has not been picketed and is run ning at reduced capacity with a crew from the Bend local Lower Pork Prices Predicted by Drop Chicago (U.R) Live hog prices broke today to the lowest levels in more than three months and a market analyst said the price of pork to housewives should drop this week or next. A spokesman for the Agricul ture Department said the sea sonal break as the spring pig crop began coming to market was "much more severe than we had expected." "This apparently is a sharp reaction to the abnormally high price of pork during the peak qf mid-July," he said. "Right now, live hog prices are $4 to $6 below those levels of only a few weeks ago. And they're still heading down." A recent survey by Unitel Press showed bacon was selling for as much as $1 a pound at New York and pork chops at $1.10. TALKS IN RECESS Longview U.R) Bargaining talks were in recess here today between the Long-Bell Lumber company and the CIO Interna tional Woodworkers of America. m MIST An cacRalizsd fist finish for intericr wcHs end wesdwerk out coat corns ODORLESS SCDUSBADLI WHATt I dents of a suburban section ask-1 Lane to Antietam Drive.
